Some items are low stock at press time with the Syclodoc already long gone. The colors are quite striking and even after trimming my order a bit, I still spent a whole lot more than I intended. Check it out - it's good stuff!

Also, Power Lords Fan Club members can order new figures today at the oddball time of 3:00 PM EST. They will be available to others on December 4 if stock remains.

Toys R Us' web site claims them to be exclusives, but I don't believe this to be accurate. Either way I found TMNT Classics Bebop and Rocksteady Action Figures are still hitting the toy giant, I found the duo last night - in decent numbers, too. (Yes, they'll be in FOTD soonish.)

The figures were $19.99 each, an increase over the $16.99 price of the assortment last year. Maybe next year we'll get Shredder! With a shirt, I hope.

An update! Testing 1 2 3 4 5 shows off test shots of the plastic creations for "wave 1.5," which you will most likely be getting if you pledged on Kickstarter for the new Sucklord mini-figures. They write:

"Here is a teaser of the the series 1.5 sample test shots. Everything should be getting on a boat soon. Surveys will be emailed in the next few weeks. Its getting close!!!!"

Xbox fans, it's time to download The Raven Episode 1, a $9.99 crime adventure of some sort. Microsoft says:

"'The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief' is a thrilling crime adventure in three episodes from the creators of 'The Book of Unwritten Tales'. Full of twists and turns, it immerses you in both sides of the story, combining thrill-of-the-chase whodunit with the risk and reward of a heist story. Paris, 1960. Europe is in the grip of the gentleman master thief The Raven. His burglaries are spectacular and he always emerges unscathed. Young hotshot investigator Nicolas Legrand stuns the public when he confronts the master thief and fatally wounds him. London, 1964. An ancient ruby ­ one of the legendary 'Eyes of the Sphinx' ­ is stolen from the British Museum. At the crime scene: a raven feather. Is somebody trying to follow in the Raven's footsteps? ­ Legrand is back on the case. At the same time in Zurich a phone rings. Constable Anton Jakob Zellner looks up from behind a mountain of files. He has no idea what lies hidden in a bank vault, just a few hundred meters away from him. As he reaches for the receiver his life takes a crucial turn King Art's thrilling crime adventure ­ full of twists and turns ­ immerses you in both sides of the story, combining elements of classic whodunit and heist stories. Cinematic presentation with hundreds of camera angles and dozens of cutscenes. Optional puzzles and scoring system for adventure game veterans Notebook and help function for adventure game newcomers Breathtaking real-time 3D graphics in full HD."

In what I can only assume is to make early adopters who paid $59.99 not a month and change ago feel as foolish as possible, Amazon cut the price on the Star Wars Legacy Collection Droid Factory Action Figure 6-Pack to a mind-blowing-but-why-stop-now $23.99. Black Series figures ($11.99 Greedo) and other items also received deep cuts, and since we're going to go ahead and say this qualifies as news, you'll see more of them.

If you order one (or anything from Amazon) through the above links, we get a small kickback and it helps continue to fund this site. Thank you for your support, as always!

This week's batch on the 3DS Shop: 3DS games include Brilliant Hamsters! and the full game Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.

Other DSiWare eShop games include Hooked on Bass Fishing.

Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: 3D Altered Beast and 3D Sonic the Hedgehog, both 3D Sega classics. Also Donkey Kong 3 for the NES, which is on sale along with other discounted Donkey Kong games.

For people needing a 2DS, Walmart has them for $99 today. (I got one about a month ago and love it.) Meatspace fans will also be pleased to know a 3DS XL with Mario & Luigi Dream Team will be available December 1 at Target for $199.99.

Paramount still has a small stake in the new projects and control of the existing films, but Disney can do sequels and spin-offs or whatever they want.

It was pointed out to me over the weekend that "Old Indy" (pictured) from the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles series is about 4 years older than Harrison Ford is now, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

There are multiple items this year. For starters, there's a series of 6, one-of-a-kind "Ultra" customs. These are $50-$65 each.

There are six "regular" customs made in runs of 20 each, on sale December 10 at 3:00 PM EST. These are $35-$45 each, or the set of 6 is $200. Orders above the run are back orders and will be filled at a later date.

Two or more figures will be available at 9:00 PM EST on Friday, December 13th 2013. The Glyos Calendar on the news dump has been reflected to update this and other new releases, so save your pennies and mark your calendars.

Something new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

New! The Hasbro Transformers Generations Autobot Skids Action Figure is one of few updated takes on this relatively obscure G1 original. Aside from the reissues and the Alternators toy, he doesn't get a ton of love - so now he comes with a ton of guns, because he needed hugs and you ignored him. YOU MONSTER. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

There were numerous bonuses - depending on what you ordered, you may have a free Glyan or Noboto or something else. The freebies you can't otherwise buy are packets of heads and belts, and I got them in black, light blue, and dark blue. What did you get? I'm nosey, tell me.

Xbox fans, it's time to download Peggle 2, a $11.99 timed exclusive for the new console and arguably the game to play right now. Microsoft says:

"Everything is better with Peggle! Catch Peggle fever now on Xbox One. Master over 120 new levels and trials in the sequel to one of the most addictive puzzle action games of all time. Unleash amazing magic powers as you learn from Peggle Master Bjorn, and 4 all-new masters like the dark and mysterious Luna, while you shoot balls at colorful, challenging boards of pegs to reach Extreme Fever. But there's more! Unlocked costumes allow you to dress up the various masters for laughs. Four-player Peg Party mode lets you deploy your Peggle skills to the utmost against friends and family. Game DVR lets you save and share replays of your most astonishing shots, while Kinect support gives you the chance to aim and shoot with only your hands and voice. Truly, Peggle 2 is a game for our age, and indeed all ages!"

In case you missed the memo, there's a significant packaging variant - pre-orders from Super7 (like the early bird kit) get blue-bordered cardbacks. Buying from elsewhere (like Entertainment Earth) gets you black bordered carded figures. Which is better? Heck if I know.

Shipping confirmations begin next week. Also, you can order from our sponsor Entertainment Earth - five figures for a mere $65. Notable: Kane's head in the photo is obscured by a lens flare and a helmet. Ash is nowhere to be seen on his cardback.

Coming December 17, the vinyl-only Rory Scovel - Live at Third Man Records was recorded last June. Third Man puts out some great vinyl-only releases, and I've been impressed with the few I have. (Specifically one Neil Hamburger.) I saw Mr. Scovel in Los Angeles a few times plus I heard him on the Todd Glass Show, and as such I needed to tell you that "hey, he's got an album."

There's a short 2-minute clip about Salt Lake City on the LP's page, and yeah, you need to hear it.

This week's batch on the 3DS Shop: 3DS games include Life with Horses 3D, My Style Studio: Hair Salon, and Jump Trials Supreme.

Other DSiWare eShop games include Orion's Odyssey.

Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: 3D Ecco the Dolphin and 3D Galaxy Force, both 3D Sega classics. (Galaxy Force II was the one with the rotating, sit-down arcade cabinet.) Also Double Dragon for the NES, if you're in to such things.

Announced last week and already triple funded, Mega Man: The Board Game is officially licensed and includes a few plastic movers. The game itself will also set you back $60, or $130 if you want access to the stretch goals.

It's a 2-8 player game that costs more than a Mega Man collection for your Xbox/PS2/GameCube, but hey - figures!

Shown are Crosscut, a silver redeco of the just-released (and just-reviewed) Skids from Wave 7. Crosscut is a Japanese eHobby character, and as such is unknown to any old-school-only fan. Rattrap looks solid in both modes and is a new mold with a rat mode not as adorable as the cartoon, not as grotesque as the toy. Joining them is a new Beast Machines Tankor, trading heavily from his cartoon appearances. Each version of the mold is quite different, so I wouldn't suggest throwing out your old ones - they're still good for different reasons. I'm buying this one too, I loves me some Vehicons.

A posting and discussion reveal what you can expect in early January from the prolific character known as The Godbeast, an old-school toy collector and someone with skills exceeding those of most mere mortals. You'll want to check these out.

This metallic red figure will join a blue one, and provide you with more parts than you can shake a stick at. Expect it on sale this Friday, because who else but serious toy collectors will be home on a Friday night?

Crosscut is a redeco of Skids with a new head, Tankor is all new, and Rattrap has a bomb in his arm. Nice! Tankor is the first new vehicon in years, and one of very few Beast Machines-inspired toys that can transform in ages.

During one of my many trips to the store with my 2DS I saw numerous 2-packs of Wave 5 Transformers Beast Hunters Deluxe Toys for $9.96 a pop. 2-packs include the likes of Prowl, Bulkhead, Ratchet, and others.

At least around here some of these have been in short supply, so it's quite a find at any price, let alone two for less than the price of one.

Xbox fans, it's time to download The Walking Dead: Season Two, a $14.99 parade of misery where you watch your loved ones die before your eyes. Microsoft says:

"Download Episode One of The Walking Dead: Season Two, a five-part game series that continues the story of Clementine, a young girl orphaned by the undead apocalypse. Left to fend for herself, she has been forced to learn how to survive in a world gone mad. Many months have passed since the events seen in Season One of The Walking Dead, and Clementine is searching for safety. But what can an ordinary child do to stay alive when the living can be just as bad ­ and sometimes worse ­ than the dead? As Clementine, you will be tested by situations and dilemmas that will test your morals and your instinct for survival. Your decisions and actions will change the story around you, in this sequel to 2012šs Game of the Year."

1,500 coins is a lot - a Wii U gets you 160 coins, a 2DS is 100 coins, a 3DS is about 130 coins. Games are 40-60ish, so if you don't already have the credits you should probably just resign yourself to eBay for this one.

Fun indeed! The great Brian@Funko (nice guy, meet him if you can) posted many new announcements on the Funko Fanatic board. Arrested Development Pop! Vinyl and Bobble Heads are among them, and wow, exciting! Ghostbusters will be joining Pop! as well.

This week's batch on the 3DS Shop: 3DS games include Banana Bliss: Jungle Puzzles and Winter Sports - Feel the Spirit.

Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: 3D Shinobi 3 and 3D Streets of Rage, both 3D Sega classics. Also Crash n' the Boys: Street Challenge for the NES, if you're in to Super Dodgeball or River City Ransom.

The blue cardbacks arrived unpunched, and my set (I ordered in San Diego at Comic-Con) included 6 stands as well. Also, this link goes to yet another new blog I've started - give it a look, follow it if you're in to such things. I expect the next post will be a) a Ripley review or b) Zica's Six Million Dollar Man figures arriving.

The Nintendo UDF figures are based on artwork of classic characters, and while there's no art of this one yet previous figures have been based on box art and manual art of classic NES titles. They're on the small side, but I can't wait to see how it turns out - especially since I don't have 1,500 coins for this Nintendo statue premium.

The tasty quote comes from the Funko Funatic boards:"Re-Action. I will let you know we are squeezing a last minute entry into our line for fall 2014..Horror. Freddy, Jason, Pinhead, Michael Myers, Sam from Trick or Treat and many more!!!"

Something new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Merry Christmas late! 34 years late. The Super7 x Funko Alien ReAction Ripley is the rare thing in the toy business - it's a figure that never got made, that finally got made, that you knew you wanted for over 20 years. That's pretty special. So read on and come back tomorrow for more!

No size was listed, and it's unknown if this will be their typical 6-inch scale or possibly a shorter 3 3/4-inch scale figure as they've been known to go in that direction. 2014 is shaping up to be exciting!

Figure of the Day has updated for a brief interval! We'll be looking at a few new figures, but we won't be doing it every day anymore.

Today we look at Darth Maul (Mission Series 2013). It's rare that we get a totally new costume for a figure these days, so this is actually quite exciting. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Complete with Bullet Bill, Goomba, and a display stand the Good Smile Company Nendoroid Luigi Figure has it all! Well, sort of. It has a giant head, a display stand, and little puffs of smoke for your diorama needs.
